The city of Arahal is found situated on a hill to 117 meters of altitude on the level of the sea, occupying a stripe of earthly al southwestern of Seville determined by The Campiña, region and natural spot characterized by its hills and plains and delimited by the South Mountains, the fertile plain of the Guadalquivir and The Alcores. It is to indicate that, inside its municipal term is found located the Air Base of Morón of the Border that takes the name of the neighboring nucleus, due to the greater proximity of this al main access to the same one.

The total population of the municipality elevated to a total of 18.110 habitants in 1.996, concentrated on its greater part in the main nucleus, in spite of the fact that other four companies of population in the municipality exist that are, them disseminated of The Gironda and The Nuns, and the urbanizations of Saint you Go it and Valleverde.

Although the origin of the nucleus seems to be lost in the epoch prerromana, seems certain that corresponds with the Roman city of Calúcula, that was estipendiaria of Ostipo. In spite of the confused news of their history, seems clear that their first settlers went Arabs that, from Morón and once conquered this, they extended for these lands attracted by the abundance of pastos. July 22, 1.248 Fernando III reconquest the city, that serves it of strategic point for the conquest of Morón, two you gave later. Of said city depended to 1.554 in which recovered its independence and obtained the title of village. The real thanks were increased in times of Felipe IV reaching the term a similar greatness to that of the most important populations Spanish contemporaries.

The village of Arahal, is originated urban development from an old helmet perfectly defined and that develops, with form redondeada from the rear of the plaza of the City Hall and whose center we can set it in the Church Parroquial of the Mary magdalene. A first very dilated expansion in the space and in the time develops in around al native nucleus, though, himself is not expanded in northeastern direction. The major development in this phase, that hard to the fifties although in their interior important buildings of the centuries exist XVIII and XIX, is carried out in southeastern direction, al to seek the urban growth the support of the old crossing of the highway Seville - Antequera. From the fifties, the expansion has been very extensive in all the directions around it previously built, remaining the limits of the building clearly you defined by the Autovía TO-92, of a part, and through railroad, by the other.

These two elements mentioned are the ones that define the present structure of the urban nucleus that is arranged among both around an axis with northeastern direction - southwestern and that remains clearly defined by the street Corredera. The village, due to their dilated urban development process of evolution, does not present a definite plot, but is articulated, of form scarcely ordered, around 4 axes that arise since the old helmet with northwest, southwestern, southeastern, and northeastern directions.

The parcelario urban, defined in the old helmet and in the expansion carried out to the 50 s, from large apples with predominantly orthogonal morphology, remains vague in the expansions but recent with the large, remote blocks typologies apparition equipment and disorderly growths that have not been object of planning to very recent times.
